Furness Railway survivors and the Furness Railway Trust

The collection opens with four views of officially preserved Furness Rly 0-4-0 'Coppernob', 1891 Windermere steamer 'Tern' (which has never been withdrawn), and privately owned Barrow Haematite Steel Co 0-4-0ST No 17 (originally Furness Rly 0-4-0 No 25). But the bulk of the collection (44 photos) looks at the work of the Furness Rly Trust in restoring and operating locos, carriages and wagons from a variety of sources, notably 1863 FR 0-4-0 No 20 ('The great survivor').

North London Rly second class coach, Haverthwaite, 1 August 1976. Here are five views of this coach, taken at different times and places. It was built at Bow, date and number unknown, and subsequently migrated to west Cumberland. It ended as a grounded body at Ulverston before moving to Haverthwaite, where it is seen in this Les Tindall photo before restoration.
